Black Elk Speaks: Being the Life Story of a Holy Man of the Oglala Sioux by Black Elk

4.0

Not quite the book I expected. It’s more autobiography than a sacred text. Well worth reading despite the controversies surrounding the book. Is it accurate and representative of the Sioux because it was a white man transcribing the story? I think it’s pretty good. Need to read up on it more.
